Ukraine Solidarity Campaign stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and their labour movement on this Independence Day.   On 24 August 1991 Ukraine restored its independence, affirmed with 92% voting  in favour with 84% voter participation across all regions.  Let us remember the key role the mine workers strikes played in that struggle for independence – today the mining communities like Pokrovsk in Donbas region face a mounting threat from Russian forces –  together with the Ukrainian trade unions we call for increased solidarity to defend and liberate Donbas and all of Ukraine from Russian occupation.
